WordPress Version

We are running WordPress 4.1.1 and despite what many supposed "security experts" claim letting you know what version we are running does not make us less secure.

We only write about things that we actually understand and only after we have double checked the information. So if you see a mistake in one of our posts please leave a comment on the post or contact us so that we can add a correction.
